The following pathetic cry for mercy
comes from the Kalamazoo Gazette: The
papers of the Ohio State League have taken
the National League rule which applies to
the situation when a club drops from the
League and have deducted all but two
games from the standing OF the clubs which
have been played with Steubenvllie. This
cannot be done except by vote OF the League
directors, and when it GssOne the lndlyid-
ual standings of the players will also have
to be deducted. The Ohio League COnsti-
tuition and the National League do not
agree" If the base ball editor OF the Cd
zette will examine Section 90 OF the Ohio
League Constitution, he will find the posi-
ton covered in every particular. IL Is
pretty tough on the Gamblers, but the rule
is laid down very clearly and has to 90.
Wheeling gets her little dose, too, and we
will all have to grin and bear it, as it can't
be remedied unless another city takes the
disbanded clubs place.
Dayton base ballists are hustling to get
a team into the League in place OF Steu-
benville. Canton is also making move.
-Nansfeld Herald.
We hope that some ambitious city will
fall in line before next Monday. Whether
it will be Dayton, Canton or some other
Ohio town, there is money waiting here
for them on July IL, II and Is, If they
come in in time to play here on the above
dates. Everybody is anxious to see the
home team play ball, and the new club
would make good financial start by join
Jug before the time originally scheduled
for the Steubenville games here. The
quota Of seven clubs is either one too little
or one too many, and a change Of some
kind is necessary and that at once. The
base ball public would be very glad to hare
three games next week, as it will be their
only chance to see our crack team play
until August 1.
The w. w. Bells, of Pitt7burg, strong
semi professional team, will try conclusions
with the MaroOns at the Island Park to
day and tomorrow. The games will, no
doubt, be close and interesting and should
draw well.
There were TumOrs upon rumOrs about
town last night, some of which were found
ed upon fact aud others wild in the eX-
treme. There seems to be SOME truth in
the report that Jack Crogan had resigned
his position az captain OF the team. The
talk of considerable dissatisfaction be-
tween the different directors is premature
and without sufficient foundation, but is
understood that some lively developments
may be expected in the next few days
Crogan is one OF the most popular men in
the Wheeling and all will be sorry u hear
OF his withdrawal from the Captancy. 1t
il to he hoped that he will reconsider his
determination, and again assume the posi-
